-
Nobles, Illustrious Sirs, Friends, and Family,
We are half-way through the year and have accomplished a lot.
Our events have been successful but not well attended. I regret
that too many of our new or old nobles come out to our events but
hope attendance will improve when we move into our new
building.
We are looking to move into our new home about Mid-September.
Our cornerstone ceremony will be held on September 16th, 2018 and
our Grand Opening will take place sometime before the New Year.
We’ve had many nobles that have contributed to the success of our
new Shrine. I want to Thank You all for helping Salaam go forward!
We still have many more events and fun programs coming up. I
encourage you all to participate in the growth of our new
fraternity. Our success depends on your participation.
A few words about Clubs and Units:
Units are the backbone of Salaam. They provide the opportunity
for like-minded, socially active nobles to get together. Your Divan
will continue to do whatever it takes to help you be successful in
recruiting and keeping your organization running. But it is you,
the Nobles, who must recruit new members. You have the tools; our
newsletter, emails, constant contact, all provided by Ana in the
office. Yes, we have a few new clubs, but this is not to detract
anyone from participating in any of our units. Also, by
participating in Salaam and club events, you can speak to other
Nobles and promote your unit. This takes an effort on your part to
come out.
On Saturday, June 23rd, our High Priest and Prophet will be
running a “Hawaiian Theme” Oasis Night which will be an open house
(free). Our newest members will be especially invited. The
following Saturday, June 30th, from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. we will be
hosting a “Meet and Greet” for our clubs and units. Motor Corps has
said they will be there. If you wantyour Unit or Club to
participate call the office as soon as possible. Additionally, any
Nobles, Families, and Friends thatwould like to attend, please
R.S.V.P.
Lastly, if anyone has any opinions, concerns, or suggestions
please do not hesitate to contact me directly on my cellphone at
(973) 901-8866.
Fraternally,Louis A. O’Neill

A Message from The Potentate
-
Greetings Nobles,
May has been quite a busy month for Salaam Shrine. They have
finally begun the physical construction on the new home of Salaam
Shrine. If the process moves as predicted, we should be ready to
move in by September of 2018. I am looking forward to the
cornerstone ceremony which will take place on September 16th of
this year.
Members of the Divan and our Ladies had the opportunity to
celebrate with Illustrious Sir Douglas Fink at his Potentate’s Ball
held at LuLu Shrine on May 5th. The following day a contingency
from Salaam attended The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series to cheer
on David Ragan No. 38, who raced on behalf of Shriner’s Hospital
for Children. The Hospital will be the primary sponsor for three of
Ragan’s races in 2018. He was even inducted into the Shriners
International fraternity in 2012 and continues to serve as its
NASCAR Ambassador.
During our May Stated Session two Outstanding Service Awards
were presented to Illus. Sir Richard Ash, PP and Noble Gordon
Fleming for their dedication to the betterment of our Shrine. In
addition, we also welcomed four new Nobles and one Associate Member
into our Salaam Family.
On May 24th Members of the Divan were present at the District
Gold Token Night held at Clifton Lodge. At that time three Nobles
of Salaam were honored with Gold Tokens for their years of service.
They were Noble Charlie Willer, Noble Roy Herzfeld and Noble Mike
Porter.
Each month we continue to provide available activities, and all
are welcome to participate. May 18th was a great comedy night
featuring John Pizzi at the Russian Hall and on May 25th the First
Annual Salaam Shrine Charity Golf Outing took place at Farmstead
Golf and Country Club.
If any Nobles have suggestions for future activities they would
like to see take place, please feel free to contact any Divan
Member and share your suggestions and ideas.Yours in the Faith,
Noble Joseph M. HummelChief Rabban Salaam Shriners, Inc.

A Message fromthe Recorder
Nobles,
This has been a BUSY year. Your Potentate has created an endless
series of events to provide ample opportunities for fun and
fellowship. The office is struggling to keep up with this human
dynamo. He barks an endless stream of things for Ana to do. This
past month we had an emergent stated session to approve a bylaw
change which will allow us to start our stated sessions earlier
than 8:00 PM - and – to hold them on a weekend afternoon for the
convenience of some who cannot make a weekday event.
At the stated session on the 16th four new nobles “survived” the
cold-sands and joined our ranks. You can meet these men and their
ladies at the special “Hawaiian Night” open house on June 23rd.
On the 18th we were entertained by comedian John Pizzi.
Attendance was lighter than hoped for but those of us who attended
had a delightful evening.
The ‘first’ annual Salaam Shrine golf outing (we held one years
ago that wasn’t designated annual) was held at Farmstead on the
25th . It was a beautifully warm and sunny day and the golfers
enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
Nobles, WE NEED YOU! Without active members we will soon become
a forgotten page in history. Our hospitals may continue to function
but Salaam Shrine will wither and die without your participation.
Our Potentate is providing many events for your enjoyment. Please
get off your couch and join us.
Fraternally,
Doug Dampman,Recorder

A Message from the High Priest and Prophet
My Fellow Nobles:
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each
morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you
failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every
cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, its name is time.
Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes
off at a lost, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good
purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each
day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains
of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is
yours. There is no drawing against “tomorrow.” You must live in the
present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the
utmost in health, happiness, and health. The clock is running. Make
the most of today.
- Emily Cho
Have you reflected recently on your time? How best are your
maximizing your time for yourself, your family, your job, your
place of worship, your lodge and your Shrine? I submit that if you
haven’t ref lected recently, perhaps you should for your own
edification. Hopefully you will find the time to improve your
current endeavors and aspire to new opportunities. If you have the
time and desire to give more time to your Shrine, or you know of a
Brother Mason who may benefit from membership in Shriners
International, please contact any member of the Divan to discuss.
For those who have given some much time of their own recently, we
thank and salute you!
Fraternally,Frank M. Williams

Research Connections News and Events in Shriners Hospitals for
Children’s Medical Research Department May 2018
International HeadquartersPediatric Specialty Care
Marc Lalande, Ph.D., SHC Vice President, Research Programs SHC’s
Boards of Directors and Trustees has approved a new research
strategic plan. The objectives of this plan are to align research
with our clinical strengths and to raise SHC’s international
clinical research profile and reputation. To accomplish these
goals, we will build upon existing areas of strength, establish new
focus areas and foster collaboration between SHC sites. With these
objectives in mind, we are proceeding with the following
objectives: 1) Building on existing areas of strength:a) Based on
the strong system-wide response to our previous RFP on regenerative
medicine, there is an opportunity to buildsystem-wide cutting-edge
expertise around this research theme. For this year’s 2018-19
competitive grant cycle, we haveindicated that regenerative
medicine is a priority for all new grants. Moreover, beginning in
2019, we will announce a new jointregenerative medicine grant
program that will require the participation of at least two SHC
facilities with the goal of fosteringcollaboration between SHC
sites and strengthening our regenerative medicine program.b) There
is a network of 14 motion analysis centers across the SHC system
(SMACnet) that provides excellent clinical care withabout 3,000
patient encounters per year. This unique SHC resource represents an
outstanding opportunity for developinginnovative, first-in-class
motion analysis technologies. In the summer of 2018, we will issue
an RFP to our SMACnet for theenhancement and facilitation of SHC
system-wide research collaborations and data sharing.The ability to
partner with highlymotivated and tech savvy engineering students
could stimulate and facilitate research collaborations within our
SMACnet With this in mind, we are establishing an affiliation
agreement with the USA’s top-ranked undergraduate biomedical
engineeringprogram at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The
affiliation agreement will also extend to other areas of SHC
clinicalstrength.2) Build a new SHC system-wide capacity in genomic
and precision medicine:The coming era of precision medicine
requires that SHC set system-wide standards for patient recruitment
as well as samplecollection, and processing. Control of our SHC
patient DNA samples and the data derived from these will also
mitigate thecompliance concerns raised when specimens and data are
stored outside of SHC oversight and control. We will launch the
SHCLaboratory for Genomic and Precision Medicine at the SHC Tampa
Hospital site with the objective of streamlining theextraction of
DNA from tissue samples obtained from across the SHC system. For
this, we will hire a laboratory manager andtechnician to coordinate
sample collection, establish standard operating procedures for DNA
extraction, and perform qualitycontrol. The laboratory will also
produce libraries for next-generation DNA sequencing.
Implementation of the new research strategic plan will result in
changes to current research funding mechanisms in order to ensure
that we are investing in initiatives that offer the best
opportunity of improving clinical care and raising SHC’s research
and clinical international reputation.
Updates Fellowship: A total of 6 applicants were awarded grants
for this year. Each SHC fellowship recipient will need an
appointment to the hospital’s scientific staff [ref. application
below]. Funding begins July 1.

Goodnews River LodgeWelcomes Salaam Shrine!
For the past several years, except for this year, I have
travelled to the Goodnews River Lodge in Goodnews Bay, Alaska. I am
writing this article to tell you about an amazing camp ran by a
guy, a renaissance man, father, and one of the top fly fisher-men
in the world. His name is Michael Gorton! I met Michael about 30
years ago and we have been friends ever since. I miss that I was
not up at camp this year, but I am proud to be serving as Potentate
of Salaam.
I want to tell you about Michael, his camp, and the camaraderie
of the staff. To have a successful organization you need to be a
strong leader and have a great staff. But with all of this, the
main ingredient for things to be successful is by also having fun!
With Michael, I learned how to take a piece of a 2x12x10 foot and
make a door, a window, furniture, and the list goes on. With the
cost of delivering materials to Alaska, you have to learn how to
make your own items. We are constantly rebuilding the camp to make
it better every year. Hard Winters and bad weather creates a lot of
work the following season, just to get up to par. My job at the
camp is to work on everything and anything and assisting the staff.
While Michael is making furniture, he is also coordinating the
staff, flights, public relations, and working on boat motors. The
camp is set on the riverbank. You can walk a few feet out of your
cabin and start to fish! You’re in the middle of one of the last
frontiers America has to offer. American Bald Eagles the size of a
grown man, Caribou, Grizzlies, Cranes, Beaver, Mink, and other
wildlife. The fishing is phenomenal! Probably because Michael’s
staff includes great fishing guides. The unique bend and rocky beds
of the river entertain many species of salmon, rainbow trout, and
other freshwater fish. On any fishing expedition you can catch
plenty of fish. The unique background and different cultures of all
the staff that comes from all over the U.S. makes the time you
spend out there and memories everlasting. If you are looking for
the most amazing fly fishing experience of your life, ya’ll want to
come up to the Goodnews River Lodge! If you would like to book,
please see the information provided below;
